R-tistic D·e·s·i·g·n·s About the artist........

            About the artist

Sharon was born in Los Angeles, CA.  At the early age of five, her talent and love for the arts was quite apparent. Her finger paintings somehow always stood out from the rest.  Early on there was also an interest in fashion and clothing design. Along with academics her main interest in high school were, fashion, sewing and art.  By God's intervention a fashion design career blossomed into a graphic design career specializing in fashion layout.  She attended the Academy of Arts College of San Francisco, CA  As a top student in her class Sharon excelled in all her studies. Shortly after college she began her career in graphic design. This career enabled Sharon to work as a freelance designer for many well known clients, such as Macy’s of San Francisco, Lorimar Pictures, JC Penneys, and many retail chains.

 As a graphic designer with a fashion background, a whole new world opened up for Sharon.  Her love for the arts has been unleashed through fiber and mixed media.  This intermixing of talent is apparent in everyone of her designs. From unique pillows, soft sculpture, or whatever her design or media her works stand apart from the rest. She and her family currently reside in Southern California.

            Sharon uses a variety of imported textiles for each design. The textiles used for each design are carefully selected to create each unique piece.

Sharon meticulously oversees every step in the designing process with attention to detail as you can see by the textile photos she incorporates in her designs are vibrant and appealing. Mud cloth from Mali is a popular selection. The villagers weave this cotton fabric and stencil it with a mud mixture, producing intricate designs. Whether it be custom pillows, duvet, or table runner, (not shown) R-tistic designs will brighten-up any home, office, studio, or wardrobe.

A message to you her customers:

" I hope you will enjoy my designs as much as I enjoy creating them for you". 

 Sincerely,

Sharon Grier
